Fifteen months from now, a cruise ship is scheduled to depart from Miami and travel around the world not in 180 days, but in 274. The nine-month Ultimate World Cruise is billed as the longest world cruise in history, and it will take place aboard Royal Caribbean International’s 962-foot Serenade of the Seas, visiting all seven continents and hitting over 150 destinations in more than 60 countries. Deep inside the ship’s belly, powering it throughout its voyage, will be GE technology.

Good Things in Small Packages: GE Will Invest in South Carolina Hub to Boost Small-Turbine Production

Gregor Macdonald
August 24, 2022

Wind and solar have grown so fast in the past decade that they now generate more electricity globally than nuclear power. But all that clean energy needs a support structure to balance out the hours when the wind doesn’t spin the blades and the sun turns down for the night. One way to support wind and solar growth is through simple-cycle natural gas turbines. Smaller, mobile, and modular, these turbines — often referred to as “aeroderivative” because they are derived from jet engine technology — don’t need to be housed in traditional stationary natural gas plants.

Powering Up: GE’s “Plug-And-Play” Power System Can Help Taiwan Bring More Renewables Online

Will Palmer
April 14, 2022

Taiwan, like many entities around the world, has set a target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. To get there, it aims to reach a 25% share of renewables in its power mix by 2025, up from only 5.4% in 2021. This jump means Taiwan also needs to find a way to deal with the periodic pauses that come with wind and solar power. The wind can stop blowing and the sun can set or hide behind clouds just as demand for power grows.
